Georginio Wijnaldum

I saw Spurs as being a very good fit for me - but we were unable to agree financial terms with them... With hindsight, though, that was not a disaster. ”

If you don't win games, it's difficult to enjoy and see the fun in football. ”

Anfield comes alive on big European nights. ”

I like Liverpool. I like the club, and I like the fans. The people appreciate me. That's the most important thing. ”

I'm quite a shy person, but I know I'm a good football player. That's just the way I am. That's the way I grew up. My grandmother brought me up, and she is the same way. She's understated, but she knows what she's worth. ”

I wanted to be a gymnast when I was young - I used to do backflips and all those things in the street and at home - but my grandma said it was dangerous and made me stop. ”

I want to be remembered as a Liverpool player who was part of something special. ”

There were loads of managers who said, 'You have to concentrate on being a winger because you have more potential there.' But I was like, 'You can say what you want, but I'm a midfielder, and I know what's the best for me.' ”

I think I've shown I have the defensive discipline to play deep as the No.6 and start the build ups with my passing. I can also play higher up the pitch and make a difference in the opposition area. Being able to do both has helped me to play so many games. ”

As a player, I have this feeling - and I think every player thinks this - that I am responsible for how my team-mates feel. I just want to do my best and give 100 per cent, and if I do that, they will feel better and think, 'I will give 100%.' ”
